Diversionary Programmes

At YGOS, our mission is to invest in the potential of every youth who engages with our organisation. We are committed to providing a diverse range of opportunities that enable young people to explore and cultivate their inherent talents and abilities.

Through a collaborative approach involving dedicated caseworkers and mentors, we strive to deliver comprehensive, client-centered services that address the multifaceted needs of our youth clientele.

Our holistic methodology supports personal growth, fosters resilience, and empowers young individuals to achieve their fullest potential. By leveraging evidence-based practices and tailored interventions, we aim to create a nurturing environment that facilitates positive youth development and long-term success.

As an Integrated Service Provider...

YGOS has been designated by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) as an official provider of Integrated Service Provider (ISP) programmes. Our mandate extends beyond the initial programme completion, encompassing comprehensive post-care services.

Our post-care approach is designed to ensure continuity of support, mitigate potential relapse risks, and foster long-term resilience. By maintaining ongoing engagement with programme graduates, we aim to consolidate the progress achieved during the primary intervention phase and facilitate successful community reintegration.
